Organisational carbon footprinting entails the measurement and quantification of carbon dioxide emissions emanating from a business.
We offer a variety of services, listed below, to help organisations measure, manage and mitigate their carbon footprint. Please click on each service offering to find out more.
A Carbon Footprint enables an entity to understand its carbon hotspots, and furthermore it can be used to benchmark and monitor any improvements achieved from future carbon reduction actions.
By having an initial carbon footprint as a baseline, an organisation can start to build its Carbon Strategy through the setting of carbon targets and the development of a Carbon Reduction Plan, in order to ensure it can sustainably lower its emissions over a period of time.
Scope 3 emissions occur from sources right across the entirety of an organisation’s value chain, therefore covering activities that are not owned or controlled by the organisation itself.
Circular Ecology can work with you to first help you understand your Scope 3 carbon footprint, working first on the areas most relevant to your organisation, before prioritisation of longer-term targets and improvements.
As part of a robust sustainability strategy, any organisation can undergo external verification of its carbon footprint, supporting data, and calculation methodologies.
By choosing external verification, your organisation can demonstrate its commitment to the most accurate, reliable, and consistent environmental disclosures.
Once an organisation has successfully implemented annual reporting of its organisational carbon footprint, it should start to set out a strategy to continually measure, manage, report and ultimately reduce its carbon footprint. This strategy can be developed through a Carbon Reduction Plan & Target Setting.
There are several ways an organisation can approach its Carbon Reduction Plan and Target Setting. As such, the adopted approach should consider the organisation’s activities, future growth projections, and available resources.
The NHS has committed to reaching net zero by 2040 for the emissions they control directly. Furthermore, they aim to reach net zero by 2045 for the emissions they influence. This commitment also applies to the goods and services it procures from its partners and suppliers.

A Carbon Reduction Plan for UK Government suppliers is now a compliance requirement when bidding for government contracts with an anticipated value of £5m per annum or above.
Circular Ecology can support your organisation to satisfy all the requirements outlined by PPN 06/21, by undertaking Scope 1&2 assessment, Scope 3 assessment and producing a Carbon Reduction Plan for UK Government Suppliers.
From 2024, some exporters of certain carbon intensive goods into the EU may have new reporting obligations under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Based on the type of goods sold, UK and other non-EU businesses may be required to take additional action before the December 31st, 2024, deadline.
